France and the Netherlands played to a 0-0 draw in their Euro 2024 Group D match on June 21. Kylian Mbappé, recovering from a broken nose, watched from the bench as France’s Antoine Griezmann missed key opportunities and a Dutch goal by Xavi Simons was disallowed after a VAR check due to offside interference. Both teams now have four points, ensuring Poland’s early elimination after their 3-1 loss to Austria. Despite several chances, including close attempts by Aurélien Tchouaméni and Ousmane Dembélé, France could not secure a goal. Coach Didier Deschamps chose to rest Mbappé, prioritizing his recovery over the need for a win.
